Caught the late ferry and needed somewhere to stay last minute and saw that there were deluxe rooms available so i booked one. When I arrived I was behind a line of three groups of guests all checking in. No big deal. When I get to the front of the line the front desk host was a little unfriendly and as I was paying my 200$ deposit he looked down his glasses at me and told me if i smoke in the room i will be charged 200$ which he didnt feel the need to say to any of the other paying guests in front of me. I told him thats fine I dont smoke and proceeded to my room. The main feature that helped me decide on this hotel was the soaker tub because after a long day of travelling and paying 300$ for an 10 hour stay in a hotel, I wanted to relax and enjoy that one amenity. When I got to my room I went straight to the bathroom to start the tub and the bathroom door only opened halfway because it got caught on the tile floor. The tile floor itself was very uneven and cracking, showing signs of either poor finishing or issues in the subfloor below. Once i filled the tub to my utmost dissapointment the jets did not work in the tub. I also requested a late check out when I booked and was informed my check out time was to be 11. As someone who has worked hospitality for years, I was dissapointed in the value I got at this hotel. Maybe other people really like this place but for 300$ a night, I think ill go stay somewhere by the waterfront next time instead. Hopefully this review helps som

Good location. Hallways & rooms smelled musty, maybe the carpets. The carpet in our room was lumpy like there was gravel under it when walking around. Went to go for breakfast, nothing here. Managed to find coffee in lobby. It was like a ghost town in the lobby at 10am. No music, kind of dark & dreary. Felt like the place was closed. Wife found spiders on bed….
